Simple Question on Php
13 October 2011 at 8:55pm
Hi, I am doing a tutorial 2, for the code below:
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("ArticlePage", "ParentID = $news->ID", "Date DESC", "", $num) : false;
What do the symbol '?' and ':' means? Thanks.

The :: allows you to use the function of the DataObject class without instantiating an actual object from it.
